DOL’s own assessment shows constant revision of internal targets. See Q 2.1, p. 212, of Program Assessments, Department of Labor, at http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budget/fy2006/pma/labor.pdf.
* The current backlog is 315,000.
* In 2004, DOL was supposed to reduce the original backlog of 270,000 by 36.5% to 171,450.
* In 2005, DOL was supposed to reduce the backlog by 42% from 171,450.
* DOL’s original goal: eliminate backlog by end of FY 2006.
* DOL’s current status: data entry for all backlogged cases will be finished by June 2006. The backlog elimination target date is end of FY 2007.
* DOL has estimated that the backlog would be eliminated by Sep 2007, but DOL’s previous estimates have not been correct. DOL estimated that all cases would be entered into a database by Summer 2005, but later revised that estimate to Summer 2006.
